AVID Entertainment are proud to present a wonderfully re-mastered 4 CD Box Set of Original Cast Recordings from the Great Broadway Shows. We have put together six classic shows and a revue for the latest release in our highly successful Gold Remasters series.
Amongst the highlights we feature The King And I, starring the legendary Gertrude Lawrence and an upcoming young actor named Yul Bryner, who went on to make the role his own and of course was to receive the Oscar in 1956 for the film version.
The inimitable Ethel Merman stars in the rousing Annie Get Your Gun considered to be Irving Berlin's masterpiece. With Oklahoma we witness the fruits of the first partnership between Rodgers and Hammerstein, which went on to run for over 2000 performances.
Another masterpiece in our collection is Kiss Me Kate written by Cole Porter and perfomed over 1000 times after it's opening in 1948.
With Paint Your Wagon we hear a great Leorner and Lowe score four years before they went on to write the classic My Fair Lady and of course we all remember the film with Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood attempting to sing in tune!
Completed by Kismet, (the Arabian Nights story set to the music of Borodin) and a fine revue, New Faces of 1952 this splendid Re-mastered 4 x CD Box Set is an exciting addition to the AVID range.
